Wheeling on borrowed time?

Well, after pulling the right rear axle, it looks like I was wheeling on borrowed time. Seems the shaft had started to twist. The two sets of wear marks are from when the axle had loosened up on me one over the summer. The damage probably happened when I tried to do the Mud run. Pulled the rear center section and Tranny as well.
Started the cleanup of the Transfercase, and removed the seals. I was actually able to get the shifter seals out in one piece! that however wasn't true for the drive flange seals. 5 seals installed, and will pick up the sixth one tomorrow.
Then I need to start on cleaning up the new (to me) tranny and get it painted and ready for it's new seals. Not sure what I'll do about the clutch. Seems I have a real odd ball. 10 spline 1". the 10 spline clutches I find are all 1.125", and the 1" are all 23 spline.
